31218 – Method of utilizing nanosensors to measure antimicrobial susceptibility of a microbe to current or potential antibiotics
The identification and administration of an effective antimicrobial agent (antibiotic) is of the utmost importance in both the clinical and research settings. With the emergence of multidrug resistant bacterial strains, such as MRSA, identifying the most effective... Read More

32151 – Using hybridizing Magnetic Relaxation Nanosensors (hMRS)
Microoganims associated with disease or contamination of the environment present serious challenges that threaten public health. For example: pathogenesis relies on the survival of microorganisms within host cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, or tissue. This mode of infection, with or without clinical symptomology,... Read More
